Advice on purchase

[Wulfaz]

Found a CLEAN 95 suburban 4x2 for $3000. It has 147,000 miles. Thoughts on if it's worth it and how long these 5.7 engines last?

Good deal. Well cared for 350 last more than double that.

Get it, when I upgraded to the NBS Escalade and sold my 95 Tahoe it had 256k and is still going strong

How good are the transmissions on these vehicles?

sounds real good, look at the color of the trans fluid, that should speak for itself

 

[Wulfaz]

The transmission fluid is perfect. Which oddly enough is what worries me. I am nervous it was changed recently just for show when selling.

Gauge it against apparent maintenance or lack thereof on the rest of the vehicle, and also, ask about it.

If the overall vehicle is clean and straight, then it makes sense that the fluids are squared away as well. Look up & down & all around---unless something jumps out or doesn't add up, buy it.

Ended up purchasing the suburban. There is absolutely no rust on this thing! The frame and everything looks like it's brand new!

Nice!
